  • Another stupid C4 question.

    This one is for my old cruiser though, my 4 door Fairlane.

    I'm new to automatics (I'm a manual trans type of guy), so I have what could be a dumb question. I put a 302/C4 in my Fairlane last fall, and never had anything on it to make it kick down.

    It will downshift fine if I'm just slowing down, but I'd really like it to kickdown when given the gas like it should. I just don't know what I need to buy/do.

    Here's the best I can do with relevant info. It's a case filled C4, apparently out of a floor shifted car (so I've been told because the linkage faces up), though I have something on the pivot facing down so it works with my column shifter. Everything I've bought for it I've looked up for a 68 Mustang C4 and it's all been right. The car has an Edelbrock carb.

    How were these kicked down from the factory? Do I need to get that type of linkage, or would I be better off just getting some type of Lokar cable or linkage?

    Any help would be appreciated, I'm lost when it comes to automatics!

        Edelbrock carb requires a special bracket too.
